Sister's Name Is Hu Liena!

When the Golden-haired Girl saw Long Yun grin foolishly at her, she thought he had been scared senseless by the Netherworld Wolf. Just as she was about to speak, he collapsed. She hurried forward to check on him.

The Golden-haired Girl came to Long Yun's side and felt his breathing again. Finding that he had merely fainted, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "If you'd just died like that, wouldn't my trip have been for nothing? Good thing you're not dead," she muttered under her breath.

The Golden-haired Girl examined Long Yun. After all his recent running and hunger, his face had long turned deathly pale, without a trace of color. His face was smeared with dirt, his clothes had been torn by branches, and his body was covered in wounds of varying sizes. None of them were deep, but they all bled. His once clean, neat short hair had become a complete mess, and he looked utterly bedraggled.

"This child looks no older than ten. How did he end up alone in the Soul Hunting Forest? Didn't he have any family with him?" the Golden-haired Girl muttered, looking around as she spoke. There was no one else nearby.

"You're lucky you ran into my teacher and me, kid. Otherwise, you'd be waiting to become this Netherworld Wolf's food!" The Golden-haired Girl looked at Long Yun, then at the lifeless Netherworld Wolf lying on the ground.

"Huh? Why do this person's clothes look so strange? I've never seen anything like them before." The Golden-haired Girl stared at Long Yun's short-sleeved shirt and shorts, speaking to herself in confusion.

Although some clothing on Douluo Continent resembled modern clothing, such as trousers and shorts, their actual styles were still vastly different. Short-sleeved shirts basically did not exist in this world.

"Forget it, I won't think about that for now. I should decide whether to leave him here or take him away first." The Golden-haired Girl found herself in a dilemma.

If she left him here, he might be attacked by soul beasts again. He could not even handle a Netherworld Wolf that was over four hundred years old. If he encountered a stronger soul beast, he would definitely die. So if she did not take him with her, he would most likely die in this forest.

But if she took him away, wouldn't she have to carry him on her back? This...

"Ugh! Why did you have to faint? If you hadn't fainted, I wouldn't be in such a difficult position. I could've just taken you out directly. Seriously." The Golden-haired Girl complained to the unconscious Long Yun.

"..."

If Long Yun had heard that at this moment, he would definitely have rolled his eyes at the Golden-haired Girl countless times. Do you think I wanted to faint? It wasn't like I could control it!

The Golden-haired Girl bit her lip and thought for a moment. In the end, she stomped her foot. "Forget it. He's only a ten-year-old child. It's no big deal. I'll just consider it an act of kindness!"

"Kid, you're pretty lucky! Having big sister carry you is something countless people would envy." As she spoke, the Golden-haired Girl slowly helped Long Yun up and placed him on her back.

Though she was a girl, she was a Soul Master, so she was quite strong. Carrying Long Yun, who weighed less than a hundred pounds, was effortless for her.

"Let's go!"

The Noble Woman watched the Golden-haired Girl approach with the child on her back, a smile on her face. "Na Na, I never thought I'd see the day you carried someone on your back!" she teased.

Her disciple was usually extremely proud and rarely interacted with men. Yet this time, she had actually carried a male on her back. That truly was rare.

Hearing the Noble Woman's teasing, the Golden-haired Girl could not help blushing. She said to the Noble Woman somewhat aggrievedly, "Teacher, you're still making fun of me? Wasn't it to save this child?" As she spoke, she tilted her head to glance at Long Yun, a hint of displeasure on her face. It was all his fault that Teacher was making fun of her. Still, though she was somewhat dissatisfied with Long Yun, she did not throw him off her back.

"All right, I won't laugh at you anymore." The Noble Woman smiled faintly. She looked at Long Yun on the Golden-haired Girl's back and also noticed the oddity of his clothes. It was her first time seeing clothing like that, and she felt somewhat puzzled. Moreover, ever since she had sensed this child with her spiritual power, she had felt that he was extraordinary. Now that she examined him closely, she found him even more unfathomable.

"Teacher, what should we do with him?" the Golden-haired Girl asked.

"What else can we do? Take him back to the Pope's Palace," the Noble Woman said calmly.

"Take him back to the Pope's Palace?" The Golden-haired Girl was startled. She did not understand the Noble Woman's decision. She had not expected her teacher to bring him back to the Pope's Palace. The Pope's Palace was not somewhere just anyone could enter casually. Yet her teacher was going to bring this child of unknown origin back there. How could that not surprise her?

The Noble Woman ignored the Golden-haired Girl's confusion and walked directly toward the edge of the forest. The Golden-haired Girl looked at Long Yun on her back. "What a lucky guy," she murmured before following the Noble Woman out of the forest.

"Huh? Why do I suddenly feel so comfortable? So warm..." Long Yun gradually regained consciousness. The moment he did, he felt something like a current of air flowing through every part of his body. Everywhere it passed felt exceptionally comfortable, like dead wood coming back to life in spring.

Could this current be some kind of energy? Long Yun guessed. After this energy flowed through his body, he felt much more alert. The pain in his muscles vanished, especially in his badly injured left arm. Under the treatment of this energy, his arm gradually began to itch. Then the pain in his left arm started to fade. Within just a few breaths, the injury to his left arm had completely healed.

Long Yun slowly opened his eyes. The instant he did, he saw the beautiful face he had seen before fainting. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face. "Am I dreaming?" The words slipped out of his mouth.

"No," the Golden-haired Girl said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing that, Long Yun's eyes widened instantly. He pushed himself up with both hands and sat upright. The Golden-haired Girl seemed startled by his sudden movement and hurriedly stepped back to avoid bumping into him.

"What are you doing?" After backing away several steps, the Golden-haired Girl spoke with slight anger, her tone carrying a hint of reproach. Why had this person suddenly sat up? Was he trying to scare her?

"Hehe, sorry!" Long Yun had panicked for a moment and instinctively tried to sit up. He had not expected to nearly bump into the Golden-haired Girl, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

"It's fine. Since it's your first time, I'll let it slide." Hearing Long Yun's apology, the Golden-haired Girl's anger faded, and she spoke generously.

"You may leave first," the Golden-haired Girl said to a White-haired Old Man beside her.

"Yes!" The old man bowed to the Golden-haired Girl before walking toward the door.

"Who was that?" Long Yun asked curiously.

"He is a Healing Soul Saint. He was the one who treated your injuries just now," the Golden-haired Girl explained.

"Oh? Then I haven't had the chance to thank him yet," Long Yun said. This person had helped him, so he should thank him no matter what.

"You're quite polite for a child. But instead of thanking him, shouldn't you thank me? If I hadn't saved you, you'd have been dead long ago." The Golden-haired Girl curled her lips.

Long Yun stared blankly at the Golden-haired Girl's expression. It took him a long while to recover, and then he said seriously, "I will definitely repay you for saving my life. No matter what you need from me in the future, I won't refuse." Long Yun was someone who repaid kindness. Since the Golden-haired Girl had saved his life, her kindness toward him was immense, and he had to repay it no matter what. Besides, she was so beautiful.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Long Yun's serious expression, the Golden-haired Girl laughed softly. "You little brat, you're so young, yet you can say something like that. Not bad!"

"I'm not that young! I'm already twelve this year. I'm not an elementary school student anymore. In a few more years, I'll be an adult!" Seeing the Golden-haired Girl treat him like a child, Long Yun immediately grew anxious and hurriedly argued back.

The Golden-haired Girl treating him as a child made him feel uncomfortable. He did not like it.

"What elementary school student? Little brother, what are you talking about? Don't tell me that Netherworld Wolf scared you stupid?" the Golden-haired Girl said with a faint smile.

"It's nothing. Anyway, I'm not a child anymore." Seeing that the Golden-haired Girl did not know what an elementary school student was, Long Yun did not explain. He only emphasized that he was not a child.

"All right, all right. You're not a child, okay?" The Golden-haired Girl smiled.

"But little brother, your height really doesn't look like that of a twelve-year-old! I've seen twelve-year-olds who were over one point six meters tall. Some were even over one point eight meters! But you?" The Golden-haired Girl sized Long Yun up, barely holding back her laughter.

Long Yun blushed under the Golden-haired Girl's scrutiny. When he saw her trying not to laugh, his face turned even redder. "I just haven't grown into my height yet! Besides, those people who are over one point six or one point eight meters tall must have awakened their martial souls. They only grew that tall with their martial souls' help. If I awakened my martial soul, I'd definitely grow taller too—taller than all of them!" Long Yun argued.

At the same time, he complained inwardly, Why are all you people so tall? Can't twelve-year-olds just have the height twelve-year-olds are supposed to have? Why do you all have to be over one point six meters, one point seven meters, and so on? Is that fun? Wouldn't it be better if everyone were over one point five meters?

"Oh? Little brother, you haven't awakened your martial soul yet?" The Golden-haired Girl caught the key point in Long Yun's words and felt puzzled. How could someone be twelve and still not have awakened their martial soul? Normally, every child awakened their martial soul at the age of six. How could someone be twelve and still not have awakened one?

"My name isn't little brother. It's Long Yun. And I really haven't awakened my martial soul." Long Yun was somewhat dissatisfied with how the Golden-haired Girl addressed him. Being called little brother over and over felt really strange, and his thoughts nearly went astray.

"Oh, right. Beautiful sister, what's your name?" Long Yun asked with a smile.

"Fine! I won't call you little brother. I'll call you Little Long Long instead, okay?" the Golden-haired Girl teased. At the sound of that name, Long Yun's smile instantly froze. Before he could say anything, the Golden-haired Girl spoke again. "Remember this: big sister's name is Hu Liena!"

The moment he heard that name, Long Yun's eyes widened in utter disbelief. He cried out, "Hu Liena?"
